Özet
The rise of resistance to existing antimicrobial drugs has become a significant global health concern, underscoring the urgent need for new and effective antimicrobial agents. In this context, we prepared six copper(II) (Cu1-Cu6) and six zinc(II) (Zn1-Zn6) complexes bearing N2O2-thiosemicarbazones and confirmed their structures using spectral techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis. The antimicrobial potential of the target compounds was initially tested against drug-sensitive and isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Cu(II)-based complexes were identified as more effective antitubercular agents with negligible cytotoxicity compared to Zn(II)-including counterparts. Furthermore, Cu1-Cu6 and Zn1-Zn6 were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Although the compounds failed to inhibit the growth of bacterial and fungal strains at low concentrations, Zn1 and Zn2 were …
